Unconditional love? There’s no warmth here (8,4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

absolute zero

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'no warmth here' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot see how they can define each other.

'unconditional love?' is the wordplay.
'unconditional' becomes 'absolute' (similar in meaning).
'love?' becomes 'zero' (love is zero in tennis).
'absolute'+'zero'='ABSOLUTE ZERO'

'there's' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for absolute zero that I've seen before include "can't get lower than this" , "Lowest theoretical temperature" , "Lowest temperature theoretically possible" , "Coldest temperature" , "OK?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
